0:39 DISS-COLISEUM HARDCORE!!!

Reaper is ugly but it makes beautiful songs. I love that peculiar contrast tbh.

A universal tale of coming to age. Might as well have been my autobiography.

Great 👍

Thaks! I ended the game yesterday. I need more and I know that's not gonna happen. So sad. So disco. Anyway, greetings from Argentina

Has it got a English translation finally?

Peep Redbar, you might like him. Especially him talking about Tony.

Really great stuff. Keep it up!

Honestly, there are not a lot of really hard-core changes to the lore but you can tell that the creators were not as experienced when they made the book. I think the game is a lot more cohesive and its tone is a lot easier to engage with.

I really like crazy goblins ^^ What song is playing at the beginning of the plot section?

really well made video, one of the best long-form ones i've seen in a long time

Between this n the Planescape Torment audiobooks on YT Iv really reinvigorated my bedtime routine most mightily

i think the last name lund is supposed to be the swedish name though (which means grove), everything is weirdly swedish-coded in this book including songs sung in swedish

Ham sandwich content (liked and subscribed btw)

I think Ravioli is the only album where they didn't use a real bass and it is sorely missed in the mix. Just missing that punch. You don't get it from a guitar with a low octave pedal.

Harry Du Bois's actor explains the book that inspired the game he's in lmfao

bro, wtf, you are amazing thx for the vid

I love to see more content about the book, it's really unique.

Good video. There isn't a good "audiobook" narration of this on KZbin, you should do one. You have a good voice for it I think.

The similarity is uncanny holy

-Tonight he falls asleep in the station toilet, in a cube with paper-thin walls. He has curled up against the wall, the door is locked. His body is covered with a tricolour shroud, ragged from time. Strands sweep the floor as the man tosses and turns. He can’t sleep, something is wrong. Something is very wrong. “Speak, you always have such cool presentations. In history and natural science…” The man opens his eyes and looks into a blank face, smooth blonde hair falling onto the tile floor. The child lies asleep in front of him. Doesn’t breathe, doesn’t smell. “Where are you?” A low vibration, the invisible companion doesn’t answer. Khan curls up as tightly as he can, but the cold doesn’t leave his bones. He repeats: “I’m at the end of the world. I’m at the end of the world.”- ...yeah, I think Khan pretty much dies at the end

The references you blended in as b roll got me almost every time - excellent taste my fellow!😂

hey thank you for great video and for crediting artists! i know some of them lol. this book's fanbase is so small there's like 5 artists total

0/10 didnt put on a french accent to complete the dubois cosplay i mean, i’ll watch it all but my fury knows no bounds

Man got the tie and the muttons! That's dedication!

Great video! I read the book last year after playing the game for the first time and falling in love with the world of DE. For me, it's the best, most fascinating exaple of fiction world-building I've ever stumbled upon. Honestly, at this point I would both die and kill for a another game/novel/short story/literally anything set in the world of Elysium. Anyway, after reading the book I was supposed to look up some videos or essays on it to kind of sort out the plot in my head (as by the end of the book I felt kind of lost), but ultimately never did that. This is the first video I've watched about the book and you've managed to explain it really well, so thanks for that! I also really appreciate you listing confirmed and possible inspirations for characters, events, and plot aspects of both the book and the game. I'll definitely be checking them out in the future!

Man in bathtub

Argo Tuulik has setup a gofundme about his debts and court case with a(n) (unneeded) promise to get Disco Elysium ip back to the original writers (kurvitz, hindpere etc etc). I hope Tuulik is going to have it easy. Sick chops and awesome video.

Didn't read it, just listened to the woolie streams where he read it aloud. Without playing disco Elysium I wouldn't be able to enjoy it at all because I would be lacking even a basic understanding of the world. But it was pretty good additional content after few playthroughs of DE

I might actually want to read this book, so I won't watch the whole vid, but I want to leave a comment to say, hey, I'm glad you informed me that it exists! And also, very good work on the links and sources in the description!

I was waiting for this moment my whole life! Let's go!

Here after watching your previous tierlist video! Love your analysis, and I'm just going to add some of my boring thoughts I always liked Ravioli, but I always felt weird about Rob's vocal. But now that you said it out loud, yeeeah, it seems it was autotuned. Unpopular opinion here, but I really don't like "First of October" (the song). The lyrics and the melody both seem very corny. I'm not a fan of this "meta" kind of lyrics. When you record an album in a day, and the song lyrics are about how you're recording an album in a day... it makes me cringe a bit, I don't know. "Don't Go" - still my huge favourite... Yeah, I love Rob's numbers from the previous album too (not too much into the "country" stuff though), and I have to say I greatly enjoyed "Round 6". I never quite connected FoO with Song Generator. I enjoy Song Generator a lot. But it's quite funny that I actually skipped the murderous kittens video! I just wasn't feeling it, so I stopped watching. It wasn't a conscious thing really, but now that you've said it... yeah, I guess it's just because it was something pretending to be funny while not really being funny. ........I always wondered why Andrew sounded like... so old on "Pink Fluffy Unicorns"

I see what you mean about the humour that just ISN'T FUNNY and I like Rob and Andrew? It's so ODD man!

Coming back to this after the new album, I know it might be crazy but Gourmet Ravioli is my favorite album by a lot and I can't even really explain why. It just feels like home to me.

Dude what? Infinite Lives was by far my favourite song of this album, it's pure Slowdive hazy shoegaze, beautiful textures and sentiment

What do you think of round 6?

glad that i moved to reaper after 10 years of FL

Gotta agree. Ravioli is probably my least favorite album. They kinda buckled under the pressure there.

Andrew did the drumming for Infinite Knives, not Rob.

haha u aren't a cracker. about the c word in poetry, i think so too, lord rochester used it in his poem "the imperfect enjoyment" and it works beautifully. He wrote, "her hand, her foot, her very look's a c". I didn't forget that line since I read it in school eons ago.

Hey! The new FOO album just came out. Put it on your tier list.

I have a lot of similar thoughts about this album (although I like Infinite Lives) but I think one of the big things is that I just have a gripe with the premade themes. There are two main issues I have with them. First, I feel like it really boxes them in. Having that theme out of the gate feels like it makes them gravitate more towards a certain style of music (and I don't love that style this year) and part of the fun of FOO to me is seeing two talented musicians cook something up from scratch. See what inspires them in a time crunch and see where they go when they can't find that inspiration. This leads into my second issue. The premade themes really don't feel FOO to me. The point of FOO is to go into the studio and have twelve hours to write an entire album from scratch. The premade themes don't feel like it's from scratch. They make this theme, prepare merch for it, and then they go in with ideas already flowing in order to match that theme. It just feels like it loses the beauty of spontaneity that FOO has where it's two friends that let their ideas flow freely, rather than being boxed in by this theme. You know what I mean?

Apparently cats used to piss monks off a lot by peeing in their manuscripts. The monks left notes in the marginalia indicating how they felt about that. I heard that there were some cats that wouldn’t stop meowing during prayer hours so they were taken to court. I’m not sure who represented them or won the case. They may have meowed in their defense and been executed. Those medieval murderous peeing kittens. I might be making part of this up.

the title should have been WORST Of October

No way! I used to have the same phone! But the player buttons on the side fell off one some point, lol. It was so good

8:27 I want to see you make 10 original songs, in 12h!

The song generator series may be wearing them out on the whole quick songmaking concept, cuz this year really sounds the least inspired one to me. I'm scared it's starting to feel like a chore rather than a fun project to them. I love FOO nonetheless and this year brought some genuine gems, those songs you mentioned do rule indeed.

To be honest, I really like Rob and Andrew as musicians, content creators and people. But all the First Of October albums are mediocre and really corny. Also the first album was their best and every album they release is weaker than the previous one. Anyways i really like the series because they are fun to watch

1: Ten Hours is a weird and wonderful trip, I'm glad the first project was good enough to not just prompt them to keep going but also still stand on its own. 2: THANK YOU, Finally someone else says it. Do you want to is the only song worth listening to off the album. Ravioli feels like it was just trying so hard. 3: My favorite album here. GREG is just packed to the gills with weird and quirky songs with really only the apology melody being worth the skip. Miracle is outright the best song they've ever made, and I love bookmobile so much. 4: As a default metalhead, CHAOS was so much fun. They get this goofy energy going on, resulting in the Headless Horseman, and oh my god listening to Rob just hammering away on every metal guitar trick he knows is glorious. 5: Listening to Across the Road after watching robs video on the matter really does hit home that Rob doing everything he could, but they still hammer out some solid tunes! Abby Rowed and Usually were solid hits, and you can tell by this point they've really gotten used to the pattern. Seeing this video after they released Round Six, I'd say that Across the Road is about the standard they're looking for. I'd put them both on the same level. Definitely not a greg, but still got a couple fun jams in there, and having rob back in form is always nice.
